5 Oral DOTHISTROMA NEEDLE BLIGHT IN NATURAL FORESTS OF CORSICAN PINE IN LA SILA MASSIF, CALABRIA, ITALY L. Ghelardini 1,2, F. Loria 1, C. Aglietti 1,2, G. Marchi 1, P. Capretti 1 1 Department of Agrifood Production and Environmental Sciences, University of Florence, Firenze, Italy 2 Institute for Sustainable Plant Protection, Italian National Research Council, Sesto Florentino, Italy KEYWORDS: Emerging forest disease, Pinus nigra laricio, quarantine fungal pathogens, red band needle blight. Widespread crown damages such as discoloration, crown transparency, and reduction of needle size were observed in spring 2017 in Corsican pine (Pinus nigra laricio) stands in La Sila Massif, Calabria, Italy. Yellow to red bands surrounding brown-black fruiting bodies were present on needles. A fungus with morphological characters resembling those of Dothistroma spp. was isolated by plating conidial suspensions unto MEA. Sequencing of the ITS gene region and of the Elongation Factor1 gene confirmed that the isolates belong to Dothistroma septosporum, a listed quarantine organism in Europe that is the causal agent of Red Band Needle Blight. The pathogen had been reported in 1970 in Italy on introduced Pinus radiata trees about 100 km apart from the current location. The present report is instead on native Corsican pine, which is the most common conifer species in the area and a host that has proved to be extremely susceptible to red band needle blight. Susceptible host species and conducive climatic conditions in the area, which is characterized by frequent rainfall, high relative humidity and increasingly mild temperature, might favor a severe disease outbreak. 52
